Tho wanton disregard of constitutional limitations und tho despotic military in? terference which has characterized the ?conduct of tho General Government to? wards tbo Southern States hnvo been held excusable in the eyes of many Northern men, upon the ground that they were ueaessury to tbo reconstruc? tion of States lately iu rebellion, and justifiable in a moasure, as a sort of de? served punishment to what they wore pleased to call Sou thorn disloyalty. If matters had been in a normal State, and the people of the North could huve freed themselves from the biasing ani? mosities and prejudices incident to war, tboy would never have consented, in the way they bavo dono, to tbo humiliation and oppression of their co-equal and sister Status. Although it is generally so regarded, and is technically true, that the lato Confederate Statos are part and parcel of tbo United States, and entitled severally to all the rights, privileges and immunities of States iu tbo Union, and have been bo sinco the war onded, yet it has bocn impossible, apparently, for the Northern mind, that we are a conquered people, and to be treated like Bouo fresh acquisition of hostile territory. They have imagined tbat Congress might enact laws which woald apply solely to tho South, and that tho undue power thus granted to the central government would bo exeroisod only upon ox-rebels, and would never bo em? ployed to harass or oppress their own citizens. The sad mistake which tboy have made for the accomplisbmont of a temporary purpose in surrendering one, after so many of the bulwarks of the Constitution which our fore-fathers oreated for the preservation of human liberty, is now being made manifest. Several cases bavo occurred recently in the city of New York of the reckless ar? rest and imprisonment of rospeetnblo and law-abiding citizens, under pretend? ed uutuoriiy u? iuu Auls uf Cuuyrc.su, conferring npon the General Govern? ment the power of interferiog iu elec? tions, which is one of the most radical, and, as experience has already shown, one of the most dangerous encroach? ments upon the rights of tho States. Citizens of high character have been clinched by tbo deputies of Commis? sioner Davenport, und actually kept in confinement, for tbo simplo reason that they refused to answer impertinent aud unauthorized questions of a certain su? pervisor of election, who bad no more right to demand a reply to such inqui? ries than any private oitizen has to pry into tho concerns of his neighbor. We are glad to see the indignant protest which tho press and the people of New York make against the outrage It does not compare in tbo least with thoso wbich bavo boon perpetrated against the helpless people of tbo South in thou? sands of instances, but it will serve, wo trust, as a wholesome lesson to our moro favored brethren North of Mason and Dickson's line, und show them what they may expect, if our rapid courso to cen? tralized despotism is not checked, und that right early. <-??-? The Death of Miss. Greeley.?The * telegraph aunouuecs tho death of the wife of tho lion. Hornco Greeley, in New York city on tho 30th tilt., of con? sumption Mra. Greeley was u native of New York, where she bgcameacquainted with M?\ Greeley while ho was tho editor of the Neio Yorker, and boarding at the Graham Houso iu that city, at which place she first met him. She shortly afterwards removed to Warreuton, North Carolina, to teach school. Ilcr mnideu name was Mary Y. Cheney. Iloraco Greeley aud Mi.ss Chcuoy were married in Emanuel Church, Warrentou, North Carolina, on tho Dth of July, 1830, by the Ruv. Wm. Norwood, according to tho Episcopal form. For soruo months Mrs. Greeley's health has been gradually declining, and for a week past her death has been hourly expected. She has been in Madeira aud Europe for n year past, attempting to restore her health, and re? turned within tbo last Unco mouths. Mrs. Greeley was a woman of intellectual culture, aud devoted her time largely lo tho acquisition of knowledge. If tho [tadicila are all to "voto as they shot," what is Mosbj' and Longstreet to do? This is the last conundrum out. Stand to Your Colors. There are but two days more now un? til the day of election, and we would im? press upon every conservative oitizen in tho State the urgent responsibility which rests upon him to do his duty manfully, and record his vote for Greeley and Brown, who represent the principles of reconciliation, reunion and reform.- Wo will, as a matter almost of oourse, lose tho electoral voto of South Carolina; we may loso the Presidential contest. But suob a thing is not yet recorded. There is no tolling what tho sentiment of tbo masses may be until tho returns are made, aud wo have every reasonable ground to hope that if tbo will of the people is left free, unshackled and unintimidated, they must iuevitubly fix upon Greeley as the next President of tho United States. There is a fair ohance for Greeley, un? questionably. Tho braggart assertion made by the Grautitcs, that tbo Liberals will not carry a single Northern State, is all buncombe. They are whistling loud? ly to keep their courage up. The almost super-human exertions mode by the au? thorities at Washington, in every State election since the Presidential nomina? tions, from North Carolina to Indiana; their lavish expenditure of mouey; tho fact that tbo members of tho Cabinet, a thing heretofore unheard of, have been sent out on tho hustings to bolster up the tottering cause- of Grant; all these things go to show how desperate and how budly frightened tho Administration is. There needs only a final rally of the conservative elemeuts throughout tho Union to defeat Grant and to pave tho country from a centralized military des? potism. Wo havo nothing to expect from Grant here in South Carolina. If there bo ono quality, more than auother, which chiefly oharaoterizes tho nature of the man, it is his dogged pertinacity, lie will pursue tho plun which ho has here? tofore adopted, let tho costs bo what they may; and ho will continue to griud the South to tho dust by sustaining the oorrupt carpet-bag governments, just as he has been doing all along. Though such may not bo tho case, ho will con? sider his election as un endorsement by a majority of tho pooplo of his recon? struction outrages, and ho will endeavor to perfect that policy. It is of vital im? portance to us that he should uot have such an opportunity, and it is chielly iu oumbent upon tho good citizens of South Carolina, who have suffered most severely tho inflictions of his tyrant heel, to pro? test against it at the ballot-box. By so doing wo will show thut, though we havo lost much, we havo uot vet Burreudered our manhood; that wo havo still the heart to feel aud thu courage to resent undeserved injury. It is now officially anuouncod that Mr. Boutwell did not order tho six million salo of gold on tho eve of tho Pennsyl? vania election, but that President Grant did. nnd t.bn fact is commented upon to the letter's credit. By what authority, wo would liko to know, is the President empowered to meddle with tho fiuuuces of tho country, or dispose at will of the surplus treasure in tho United Status Treasury? Certainly tho Constitution novor contemplated such a dangerous exercise of power at his hands. With an obedient Congress, command over the army, navy and Ticasury, aud unamena? ble to the habeas corpus act, he is virtu? ally an Emperor. If this responsibility for tho great gold salo has been rightly placed, Mr. Boutwell has been false to his trust, and (inn. Grant guilty of an unwarranted and dangerous usurpation. ??-<-??-? Illinois elects her next Legislature under tho cumulative system, through which tho elector can distribute his votes among thu several caudnlatcs iu nomination, or concentrate (hem all upon one. This will secure what is to desirable in a republican form of govern mout?'A miuurity representation. The new system has already been fried in several localities-, in elections of minor importance; but this is tho first instance in which it 1ms been applied to a Legis? lature. So far, it seems to havo met with popular favor; but us it is little understood, and as its bearing upon the present status of political parlies is yet undeveloped, its popularity cannot bo depended upon. It will, at all events, meet ono great popular want, aud will go far towurd restraining that in louse political excitement aud corruption now mainly attendant upou olectiou contests. -4 *t ? > - All tho Slates voto for Presidential elceto-s on tho 5th day of November, und on tho same day tho following choose Stato officers: Alabama, Arka s?8, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Massa? chusetts, Michigau, Minnesota, Missis? sippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, Now York, Tennessee and Wisconsin.

Tuuro aro few places where persons in senroh of health or enjoyment can spend a month or two moro ugreeubiy thuu here. In tho stern grundenr mul pic taresqno heunty of its scenery, Groou villo is unrivaled among our up couutry towns, us every visitor may easily col vincu hiiueelf by climbing to tho top of tho bell-tower of Furmau University. Tiie university building is couspictioubly situated ou the brow of quo of tho loftiest hills embraced within the limits of tho city, but u short distance from tho depot, ou tho right bank of the Reedy, nud beiug immediately opposite Main streut, commands a lino viow.of tho city and environs. From tho tower, thu view tit suu-H?t is extremely beautiful. Iu front and at your feet, tho quiet town, separated from you only by tho sparkling stream that half encircles the hill, and lying in the midst of a finely wooded country, gradually rising iu ele? vation till it reaches its highest point, at tho distance of only a few miles, in tho green summits of Piny and Paris Mountains, tho nearest spurs of the Bluo Ridgo. From here und towards tho loft, the eye, on a clear day, rapidly glides over the whole graud mountain range, whoso nearest peaks stand out from thu horizon in clearly defined out? lines of the deepest azure, while those more remoto gradually fado in hue, till the last mys of the setting sun gild only the dull gray tints and shadowy outlines of tho Hog-Back and the Balsam Ranges, fur to tho West. This, with a few birds quietly wiuging their rapid ilight through the blue other beneath yon, and the ceaseless sound of rushing waters from thu falls of tho river at your feet, is the prospect which, taken together, forms a scoue of inteu.se quiet, rest uud grandeur. But Greenville is also one of tho healthiest, as Well as ouo of the most beautiful, of our up-country towns. The complete salubrity of the climate, tho pure und bracing mountain breezes, that give toue to every nervo and make life itself a luxury, tho absunco of all injurious or noisome exhalations, and of thoso little wiuged pests of our country, the mosquitoes, (almost com? plete,) make it a favorito resort for inva? lids, uud justify tho opinion of tho late Dr. Michel, who considered tho couutry nrouud Greenville the healthiest spot he kuew. No wouder that its ladies are lovely und fair, and its men tall and sturdy und brave?veritable giants in physical struugth and intellectual power. TJie literary tone uud character of the population of Greenville appears not only from tho large number of prorai ueut and distinguished names it has hitherto contributed, uud is still contri? buting, to tho history of our State, but also from tho fact that the Greenville Literary Club, au association for the purpose of facilitating the iuturchangu of views on questions of literature and scieuce, well-known throughout tho Shite, still holds its regular monthly meetings. Among the chief causes of the literary character of Greenville may be enume? rated its excellent institutions of learn? ing, embracing the whole range; of edu? cational institutes, from tho primary school up to the Theological Seminary, nud supplied with corps of instructors, in abilii}', scholarship, taleut and ii-inl? ine;, tho equals of any within the State. Tho Southern Baptist Theological Se? minary, which has recently begun a new session, with a good number of students, is the only institution for Ihn training o! niiuisters of the Baptist iienumi nation within the Southern States, and is sus? tained entirely by voluntary contribu? tions within the denomination. Tho system hero pursued?lirst proposed by Dr. James P. Boyco, ami since followed by other similar institutions throughout the country ? embraces two parallel courses iu theology, au Uuglish and a classical or higher course?a plan which puts the advantages of theological study within the reach of thoso students who tuny not ho possessed of tho otherwise requisite clussicul preparation. Thu names of such men as Dr*. Boyce, Br?udus, Williams, Toy and Whitsit, of tho faculty, urn suihcient of them? selves to convince any one of the supc- i rior qualify of the instruction imparted. Tuition at the Seminary is free. Text hooks aro furnished fioo of charge to those not able to purchase; and the stu- | dents, by boarding iu messes, may ob? tain board at extremely reasonable rates. Owing to tho liberal oilers made by the church ami private individuals in Ken? tucky, iL is contemplated to remove the Seminary to Louisville, and Dr. Boycu is now engaged iu making preparatory arrangements to that i fleet. The re? moval will, however, not bu carried into effect bet?re tho board may have suo eeeded in raising from the denomination within tho Southern State's tho stipu? lated endowment of $500,001), of winch the quota assessed Kentucky is ^UUO.OUl). Tho Furmau University, though ulso under tho control of thoB.tptist denomi? nation, is yet by no means exclusivo or sectarian iu spirit, or management. The institution is well supplied with facilities of instruction nud illustration, particu? larly iu its physical and chemical depart? ments; and, in the able hands of the venerable Dr. Junten O. Furmau, and of its eminent and thoroughly competent faculty, is fully prepared to meet all the requirements of ncomplete ami thorough collegiate education. An effort is now beiug made by the denomination, and bas already been partially successful, to raise nu endowment sufficient to make tho university independent of its tempo? rary and coutiugetit support, and to make tuition free within its halls. As wo arc reminded by the ringing of the bell, the exercises hero were resumed several weeks siuce, uud the institution already gives instruction to quite a largo number of students?about three-fourths tho average number instructed before the I war, excluding the preparatory depart- j tnent, which has been disconnected from . ' it since- the war, und is now established us u separate institution under thu nuino 'of Captain Patrick's High .School. Tho Cuptain is a graduate of thu South Cn rohua Military Academy, und is well kuown throughout tho State us a ripe scholar aud an eminent disciplinarian, and, with his exaollout assistants, is abuudautly able to furnish to hissevouty students the ndvantages of a thorough academical education. Tho Fonialo College, a handsome throe-story brick edifice, is finely located iu tho midst of a largo open scpiare, the coiiegu campus on a rising ground to thu right of Buncombe street. TJuder tho ablo Buporinteudeuco of Prof. L. 11. Judson, seconded by a thorough and competeut corps of professors and assist? ants, this excellent and flourishing insti? tution has recontly begun u uew session of forty weeks. The course of study embraces a primary and un academical, as well us a Oollcginte department, iu the latter of which, though, it is not required of all students that they should prose? cute exactly thu same eoursu of studies; yet tho early study of tho clussical lan? guages, so peculiarly suitable totkt tastes aud capacities of girls, is by thu faculty earnestly recommcuded. Competent iu ytructiou is also given in the higher ac? complishments of music, drawing and painting. , But u few steps from th(; Female Col legu is situated tho Academy of Mtts:e ? a substantial brick building. Hero .Mon? sieur DeCumps, Professor of Music at the French College, resides, and in? structs his pupils in thu artdivino. The system contemplates thorough instruc? tion iu the element:! ami theory uf music, harmony uud vocalization, and is the same as that pursued iu tho Conserva? toire at Brussels, Belgium. Prof. Do Cumps is a native of Belgium, and a graduate, with high, honors, of both thu conservatoires in Paris aud Brussels. About three years before tho war, be de? termine! to link his fortunes with those of this section of our country, uud has ever siucu that time remained faithful to thu laud of his adoption. Near thu l?utern limits of the city- is located the colored public school, under the superintendence of Rev. Robert?, (colored,) tho defeated Candidate for Superintendent of Education of the Bolters' party, Rev. Roberts is the mi? nister of tho African Methodist Church, and seems to be much liked by his con? gregation. Iiis school gives instruction to somo -1?0 scholars, boys and girls?a fact that speaks well for tho ambition and love of learning on tho part of lh-j colored population of Greenville. The uew Methodist Church in a very largo and handsome brick edifice, now in course of erection in a conspicuous situ? ation, overlooking Buncombe street. When completed, the new bouse of wor? ship will seat (>00 persons, and prove an ornament to tho city aud a credit to the denomination. It is expected to be neatly furnished aud ready for dedication by December next. The carriage uud Wflgou manufactory of Gower, Cox & Murkley, located near tho lower bridge, nod ruuuing by water power from Reedy River, is probably the oMest establishment of the kind iu the State. Attractive and charging as Greouviile is at all times ami seasons, in winter, when thu snow covers mountain, hill and valley', and myriads of icicte.*, hanging from the limbs of leaflet; trees, glisten like failing tear-drops in tho dim lustre of a winter's bun, aud bleak winds svveup over thu de.ierted landscape; in spring, when thu Reedy rises ami pours across and down their rocky barriers its noisy, floods of foaming waters, aud when a bright new carpet of living green covers tho earth, and the fruit trees und tho or? chards are. all abloom and till tho air with sweet odors and lovely tints; i l summer, when the bees are busy uud the hum? ming birds uro feasting among thu flowers, and when tbo mocking bird sings its sweetest notes, and rest is most refreshing in I ho green shade of ita oak clud hills, Orecuvillu is yet never more beautiful than it is now, when nature seems to have poured out on her forests a whole alembic of colors, uud to have steeped tho leaves in the richest dies of | her rainbow, till they are glutcuing in tints running through the whole gamut, from tho brightest green to the darkest russet brown, und shining in I he colors j of chrysolite aud jasper, or, seemingly, blazing out in the suu-light in a rich crimsou glow, as if lighted up by a:: in? ward lite, or glittering i:? its rays li!;o [dittos of tiie purest gold. Among the many ploasaut walks aud drives in and about the city, there is, perhaps, none just now more charming than an iiftcruoon's drive to Professor's Hill. Starting from the foot of Main street, you Urive along thu left bank of tho Reedy, up tho hill, past the new co? lored Methodist Episcopal Church, where Rev. Mr. Roberts preaches. De? scending from here, the road follows the bend of lUe stream, which you suddenly come upon again, winding its way deep down in the gorge among tho sour-wood, tbo maple, the dog-wood ami tho holly, that here lino its steep aud narrow banks. Crossing the river on the rustic log bridge, near tho old saw-mill, that still stands here?its wheel gono and tho wind passing unhindered between the logs of its frame?you ascend tho oppo? site bauk; and, after a short drivu through tbo laue, reach the neat resi tlenco belonging tho Gen. Easloy, for? mt rly tho uumuier residence of Clou. Wadtly Thomp.soj), on Paris Mountain. It is charmingly situate! on "Professor's Hill," and constructed in imitation of n mediteval chateau. A little to tho right of this, looking back, you havo immediately before you the 11 nest view afforded by tho vicinity of tho city, the whole en? closed iu a rich frame, formed by the many tinted woods-? tho fountains form? ing tho buck-ground of tho picture. A drive to tho summit of ParisMountain is particularly attractive. What with hops, balls and parties, and the huge influx uf visitors at this time, tho summer season is a gay season in Ornenville. Quite :i stir lias been recently created in the usual rest uud(quiut of our idyllic mountain city, by the noise und bustle of the work now going on nt the juuctiou of thu Greenville und Columbia Road with the Air-L:uo Railroad. Within the last fow weeks, tniek-luyiug was beguu on the road, and has since progressed so rapidly, lli.it it is already laid to a dis? tance of some two or three miles from here, so than cars are expected to run to Spartanhurg by Christmas. The Air Line will greatly improve our traveling connections North and South. A large inoreasu of visitors and permanent set? tlers is hopefully anticipated, and, us uu earnest of still greater improvement, lands havo already materially risen in value. The mercantile interests arc well sus? tained. The many new stores that have spuing up cvideuuu the growth of the city in commercial importance.

TOUUIST. As a rule, a polieemau is not a person troubled over-much with seutimcnt or romance. A course of life like theirs is not one calculated to woo their minds tt) the contemplation of the unreal. Being terribly realistic fellows, they would, doubtless, on hearing uoises in a house at night, more readily suspect burglars than ghosts. Therefore, when olticers of the peace are ready to testify to the facts hereinafter to bo related, thoit say-so must bo accepted with a smaller allowance of salt than is usual in such eases. To bo brief, a few years ago, in New Orleans, a small elderly female, a vagrant, Mary Auu Murphy by name, was placed over-night in a cell iu the station of the Fourth Precinct. Iu the moruing, it was found that she hud com? mitted suicide by baugmg. Now cumes the extraordinary part ut this storj', to i the truth of which tho police of tho prcoiuct are ready at any time to pro? duce their testimony. Since that event? ful night, there have beeu thirteen at? tempts at suicide iu that sumo ceil, four uf which have resulted fatally. Of these attempts, hix havo taken pluco within trie past year, and two have been attend? ed with fatal results. Of all tbetu ut toinptH. none have been made by men, und all by young women of evil ways. The cell is, therefore, believed to be haunted?and haunted, too, by no Ions a tiling than the ghost of Llio htt'.o old womau previously referred to. Accord? ing to the story of at least two persons who have been couliued over-night in thatsamu cell, the apparition of Murphy, strangely and frowsily clad, faded uud wrinkled, camo to them suddenly aud endeavored to force them to haug tbem ielves. In each cj.ho, it suggested that tho occupant of the cell should tear her diess into strips, ami so accomplish the work of self-destruction. It was only a fow nights ago that a young woman, cou tluod iu the coll, attempted her life, making the thirteenth in the fatal list. Iu the case of ail these, the vindictive I spirii of old Mrs. Murphy appeared to the intended victim, the Mopuistopboles I in petticoats to the Fausts in hoop-skirts of the haunted locality, uud, with dia j bulled arts, urged them to the experi uu nt which would so have delighted the heart uf Mr. Calerait, of Newgato. A S.\t> SuioiDli.?Wo deoply regret to stnto that Mr. Churlcs II. Giles commit I led suicide in this place, about 1 o'clock ! on Tuesday last, by shooting himself in the head with a pistol. Wo know the sad news will bo received with feelings of sincere sorrow by a largo number of friend ; throughout this anil the State of Georgia, where be was well known and much rospectod. Mr. Giles was a j'ouug man of generous and manly impulses, a genial companion, a firm aud true friend. , He was a galhiut soldier iu tho Confede? rate army, and there is but littlo doubt that a severe and incurable wound in tho back, which ho received at tho battle of Sharpsbnrg, gave him great bodily suf? fering, uud created the depression in bis mind uoticeil by all some weeks before committing tho fat*l act. ?
